Guge Gongji: 7 Primary Targets to Take Anyone Out of a Fight Book by Hei Long

To stop a speeding car, you don't have to kill the driver. You can blow out the tires. Likewise, to stop a plane from taking off, you don't have to blow up the cockpit. Just damage a wing.

That is the principle of guge gongji: stopping an attacker by breaking his instrument of danger-his ability to move.

Guge gongji is an alternative to killing, a second-to-last resort that should be used only when conventional defensive tactics are not likely to be effective. Like when you face a larg-er, stronger brute who is intent on doing serious bodily harm to you.

With step-by-step instructions and precise illustrations, Master Hei Long, author of several best-selling self-defense manuals, shows you seven primary targets to eliminate an attacker's physical ability to pursue and engage you.

Structurally disabling an opponent is like removing the bullets from a gun. It is unlikely that an opponent will throw a punch with a broken wrist or elbow, and his ability to advance is substantially inhibited by a busted knee or ankle.

Learn how to take anyone out of a fight by mastering a few simple self-defense techniques.
